Green Housekeeping

GREEN HOUSEKEEPING is worth it's weight in gold. Most helpful and practical. When sharing some ideas I learned from GREEN HOUSEKEEPING with a friend yesterday, she asked me to order a copy for her!

am buying it for everyone I know!

Best book on this subject I have ever read. Easy to read, thoughtful, funny and practical. Common sense in paperback.

Good, practical info and fun to boot!

Ellen Sandbeck's latest is a truly practical guide to getting things clean without killing yourself. Some of the tips are oldies, but goodies that our grandparents used, but there's plenty of new, and quite clever, suggestions as well. I also really appreciate that she encourages the reader to find their own comfort level with what they think is "clean." Instead of dropping twenty or thirty bucks on cleaning products that really do more harm than good, buy this book and leave the world a better place!

More than Cleaning!

This book has way more information than just about cleaning. Ms. Sandbeck tells you what will make your life easier then gives hints for accomplishing such as how to unclutter when you live with (or are) a pack rat. She tells of how to keep a home clean and neat without being a clean freak or having to be Martha Stewart. This book is filled with normal things that normal people can do inexpensively. There are great ideas for dealing with insects, water conservation, recycling, and more. I also thought that the writing style was easy to understand and amusing.

Organic housekeeping should be in everyone's home

I am not much of a housekeeper and that is why this book is so great! I started using it the day I bought it, and its simple and easy to use instructions and formulas have saved me much time and money, plus my house is cleaner and more well organized! I also like the focus on not using toxic chemicals that can harm your health or the health of your family. A wealth of information! (plus humor)
